The Met Cats
I was browsing around the web aimlessly when I came accross the Communication Breakdown, the blog for Chris T.’s wfmu.org podcast of the same name. They have a cute post proposing the Mets bring back The Met Cats. Cute.
José Guillén Is Right!
I was talking with a co-worker last week about the steroids issue in baseball. The conversation occured on the heels of Twins reliever Juan Rincon. The co-worker brought up a point about how the rules could be unfair to Latin players because of a language barrier. I said that the language barrier is no excuse. […]
DÃaz Replaces Hot Floyd
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Imagine yourself a major league manager. Your team is playing well, you have injured players returning to active duty and your team seems poised to turn the corner and make some noise. Today you will see your number 3 starter pitch his first game of the season […]
Say It Aint Seo, Jae!
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Jae Seo pitched a great game last night (7 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 8 K) and then packed a bag for Norfolk. Seo and Royce Ring were sent down to make room on the roster for Kris Benson and Mike Cameron, both coming off the […]
Words of Encouragement for Yankee Fans
As a long time Mets fan I’m used to poor play on the field so I think I’m qualified to give the following words of encouragement to Yankee fans in the wake of last nights loss which featured another lousy start by Kevin Brown (5 IP, 13 H, 8 ER): At least he didn’t walk […]
Phillies Are Also Glavine’s Daddy
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Tom Glavine got rocked again, this time at the hands of the Phillies. Pat Burrell continued his success against the Mets by belting a 3 run homer in the first. On the bright side, Cliff Floyd continued his hot hitting with a solo homer in the […]
Podcasting Mets Games?
As a family man I don’t often have a chance to catch more than an inning or two of a game on TV. But as a working man I have a 1-hour commute in each direction during which I catch up on my reading and other miscellaneous things. My commute is my ‘me’ time. So […]
Ramón Castro: Pedro’s Personal Catcher?
Ramon Castro got the start last night at catcher in place of Mike Piazza. This is getting to be a habit for Willie Randolph when Pedro Martinez starts and the media has been taking every opportunity to point this out. Castro is starting to be called Pedro’s personal catcher by the media. I don’t understand […]
Rain Delayed Game
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The Mets beat the Phillies last night after a 2 hour, 17 minute rain delay. The game featured a good outing by Pedro Martinez (7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER) and Carlos Beltran‘s 4th home run of the year. Though the game ended with a happy […]
Chocolate Milk and Doughnuts
A few weeks ago I wrote of my frustration at Duane Reade at their lack of skill in keeping their fridges stocked and carrying certain items. This frustration grew this morning as I looked around my workplace for a place where I could get a doughnut (Entenman’s frosted with chocolate) and a chocolate milk (Hershey’s, […]
